Persian Medallion Rarities, Fenton | |
Above is an extremely unusual whimsey. It's a 7 1/2 inch plate made from the same mold as used for the rosebowl--with the Persian Medallion pattern on the exterior and swirled ribs inside. Courtesy of Betty Cloud. |
Above is a small spittoon in green. Here the pattern is on the inside with the exterior plain. Apparently made from the small bowl mold. Courtesy of Don and Becky Hamlet. |
These two photos show the top and bottom of a hair receiver. What's interesting here is not the piece itself, but the original store sticker on the bottom with a price of 10 cents. It reads, "The City 5 and 10¢ Store, 80 North Main St, Harrisonburg, Va." This means that to make a profit on the piece, Fenton would have had to produce it for about 2 cents.
